Open Dataset for XML not reading the XML file, Returning Code 8.

[Former Member]

Dear all,

Im trying to open an XML file using Open Dataset, since i have to execute this report in background and GUI_upload doesnt work in background.

The XML file is available in my C:\, say, C:\xmlfile.xml.

But the open dataset is not reading any value into the g_xml_line . it is returning sy-subrc = 8.

Below is my code for that, can anybody help me out to resolve.

DATA : lv_filename LIKE rlgrap-filename.

CLEAR: lv_filename.

lv_filename = p_input.

OPEN DATASET lv_filename FOR INPUT IN BINARY MODE.

IF sy-subrc ne 0.

WRITE:/ 'invalid file'.

else.

DO.

READ DATASET lv_filename INTO g_xml_line.

IF sy-subrc EQ 0.

APPEND g_xml_line TO g_xml_table.

ELSE.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

CLOSE DATASET lv_filename.

ENDIF.

TYPES: BEGIN OF t_xml_line,

data(256) TYPE x,

END OF t_xml_line.

DATA: g_xml_table TYPE TABLE OF t_xml_line,

g_xml_line TYPE t_xml_line,

g_xml_table_size TYPE i.

GET REFERENCE OF gt_person INTO gs_result_xml-value.

gs_result_xml-name = 'IPIX'.

APPEND gs_result_xml TO gt_result_xml.

• Perform the XSLT stylesheet

TRY.

CALL TRANSFORMATION zaum_manh_sync_rpt

SOURCE XML g_xml_table

RESULT (gt_result_xml).

CATCH cx_root INTO gs_rif_ex.

gs_var_text = gs_rif_ex->get_text( ).

MESSAGE gs_var_text TYPE 'E'.

ENDTRY.

OPEN Dataset cannot be used for the presentation server. It reads file only from the application server. You have to keep the file in the application server for OPEN DATASET to work.

Use Transaction CG3Z to transfer the file to the app server, and then use that path in open dataset.

After saving the file , below is the code i wrote, but it gives a runtime error with message
